Printer of the Future – Amazing!
Posted by Jon Lee in Offtopic, tags: amazing, Memjet, printer, printing, SilverbrookThis is amazing. Silverbrook Research (a company that nobody has ever heard of, holds over 2,000 patents, and has never released a product in its 13 year lifespan) has finally come out of the closet. Wait, let me correct that, they’ve EXPLODED out of the closet with one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen – Super high speed full colour instant dry printing – very cheap too!
You thought a laser printer was fast? For around the same cost ($150), you can get Silverbrook’s Memjet printer (when it comes out – not sure when). It prints documents at 60 pages per minute, thats one page a second! Go ahead and try your current printer and see how long that takes.
More amazingly, it prints full-colour photos at 30 pages a minute! One page every 2 seconds!
Check out the video below that I ripped off the memjet site (sorry it doesn’t fit into my layout that well):

It works by having tens of thousands of individual nozzles that squirt out picolitres of ink filling up an entire page at once – instead of having a cartridge that goes back and forth like a regular inkjet. For a full explanation, check out the page I first read about it on.
I’m still a little skeptical until I get to see it with my own eyes. So Silverbrook, if you’re reading this, send me a free printer to make me a true believer and I’ll write a great review about it
